The United Nations continues to try and negotiate a sustainable ceasefire agreement.

Until then, many celebrities are wary of commenting on the issue.

Earlier this week, New York Knick's player Amare Stoudemire, shared and deleted an Instagram post.

The New York Knicks player shared an image of a Palestinian and Jewish child with their arms around each other, emblazoned with "Pray of Palestine". Stoudemire, who has Jewish heritage and has recently applied for Israeli citizenship, has since deleted the post.

Another American sports star, basketballer Dwight Howard, tweeted also #FreePalestine before rapidly deleting it and issuing an apology.
